A flurry of small bombings
continued in and around Baghdad for the second day in a row. Overall, at least
28 Iraqis were killed and 35 more wounded throughout the country. No Coalition
deaths were reported. Also, two new studies reported significant new findings
concerning Iraqi war deaths and wounded American soldiers.

According
to an Opinion Research Group poll, over one million Iraqis have died since
the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.

A U.S. military study suggested
that thousands of soldiers returning home from Iraq may be suffering from post-traumatic
disorders instead of organic brain injuries as previously believed. The soldiers
are exhibiting a number of maladies including memory loss, depression and irritability.
Doctors warned that it is difficult to know the origin of the symptoms in each
particular case; however, this new explanation offers more treatment opportunities
for the soldiers. Meanwhile, the number of suicides and self-inflicted wounds
has sky-rocketed.
